This is a brand for any chocolate lover who would love to experience more of cocoa’s complex taste. In the chocolate from Aruntam Coraggio Nativo you can taste citrus, almond, molasses, sour cherry, hazelnut, honey, coffee, cherry liqueur, baked banana… The depth of the chocolate makes Aruntam Coraggio a chocolate for chocolate sommeliers.

As tribute to cocoa and to the people who are committed to it, Aruntam Coraggio Nativo developed their raw, vegan, organic chocolate collection “The Faces of the World”.

Each bar from this unique collection is made with Single Origin Cocoa giving the chocolate a very pure, wholesome and complex flavour.

At Aruntam Coraggio Nativo the Origin of the Cocoa is Considered Crucial

The origin of the cocoa determines everything for each chocolate bar: the flavour, the name, the packaging.

Single Origin Cocoa In each chocolate bar from Aruntam, only 1 kind of cocoa type is used. Different types of cocoa are neve mixed for the Aruntam chocolates.

Raw For the process of turning cocoa into chocolate, Aruntam uses the ‘Raw Method’, which means that the cocoa is processed as little as possible, to preserve the flavours of the cocoa.

Vegan No powdered milk, no eggs. To soften the flavour of the cocoa almond milk is used – and this in only 1 bar from the collection: Raw White Veg. The other chocolate bars combine cocoa of 72.5% with coconut blossom sugar, cocoa butter and organic sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier.

Names Don’t be fooled by those complicated, difficult names of the chocolate bars from Aruntam Coraggio Nativo. The names of the chocolate bars honour the origin of the cocoa used. Aruntam wants to highlight the traditions and craftsmanship behind each bar.

Packaging Chocolate from Aruntam is a gift with a story. The story of the brand itself, the story of the origins of the cocoa and the story of the photo on the packaging.

Aruntam means courage and is translated into Italian as ‘Coraggio Nativo’

The name ‘Aruntam’ is Ecuadorian. It is the name of the ‘spirit of courage’, worshipped by the Shuar tribe in Ecuador, who have been the protectors of the Amazon forest since time immemorial.

In the Amazon forest of Ecuador a variety of cocoa bean grow. The diversity of the fauna and flora can be tasted in the complexity of the chocolate creates.

Different bars of “The Faces of the World” are made from cocoa from Ecuador. Aruntam Coraggio Nativo also uses cocoa from Peru, Tanzania and Nicaragua.
